Charlie Rule is a 20-year-old footballer who has represented the Matildas and will play in the A-League Women grand final this weekend for Sydney FC.

But if she walked down the street, she would be just as likely to be recognised for her TikTok stardom.
"It's super fun — just me and my best friend taking the piss," she said of her videos on the social media platform.
Rule first began making TikTok videos with her best friend Bayley during the COVID-19 pandemic, often poking fun at the stereotype of loud, foul-mouthed sports fans.
"We were talking absolute nonsense at the beach and … then we just posted a video of us talking shit … and literally the first one we posted blew up," she said.
"We got 180,000 likes."
Since then, they have received more than 5 million likes and 130,000 followers.
But believe it or not, making funny TikTok videos was not her childhood dream. Rule said she always wanted to be a soccer player.
"As soon as I started playing soccer in the backyard with my brother, I fell in love with it," she said.
"It's a literal dream to be playing football professionally."
Rule starts to choke up when she talks about her brother. To this day, he is the reason she plays.
"My older brother influenced me a lot," she said.
"I did everything he did when we were growing up. My brother definitely was a hero to me.
"When I think about that age, I do think about him and what he's done for me. I do get emotional. he's a good big brother."
The professional part of Rule's football dream is not a reality yet, though.
Even though Rule has won three premiers plates with Sydney FC, been to an U-20 Women's World Cup with the Young Matildas, and represented Australia at the highest level for the Matildas, Rule says "it's pretty far" from being a full-time profession.
Currently, Rule juggles a job at a grocery store three days a week and studies full time, so pursuing her football dream can get "pretty full on".
"I feel like there's a long way to go for us (female footballers) to become full time," she said.
"Looking at people overseas who can do that, and the men who can do that. Even at Sydney FC the [men are] there all day. We're there 6am to 8am and then have to leave and a lot of us have to go to work and uni."
The Matildas' success is even more remarkable considering so many of the women on have jobs or study taking up the bulk of their time and they cannot fully commit to their sporting dreams.
Rule says the issue is slowly improving and "hopefully this World Cup this year will be a big deal and it grows the game in Australia for women".
But that is her ultimate goal: "to hopefully be a part of the game when I can play full time."
That fire in her burned even stronger after the U-20 World Cup last year and she was chosen for a training camp and friendlies with the Matildas.
"It was pretty crazy, to be honest, because all those girls I've looked up to for ages," she said.
"Even to just train and be next to them at lunchtime was pretty crazy. I had a little taster and it makes me want it even more.
"Coming out of that camp, I definitely learnt a lot about what it takes to be at that level."
So in these wildly different strands of life right now, what makes Charlie Rule more nervous: stepping out for the Matildas or filming a TikTok in public?
"It's probably the TikTok one," she said.
"Soccer I'm so used to, and then TikTok I'm only new to it. I've only done it for a year and I cringe myself out doing it."
Rule and her best mate Bayley want something bigger to come out of the TikTok popularity, though.
They are keen to start "little surf camps" where they hope to "inspire young girls to get out there".
"We're just both normal people and it's pretty cool that we have the opportunity to have that platform, and hopefully we can do something with it," she said.
Dreams like that will have to wait just a little longer because there is only one thing on her mind this week: that elusive grand final win.
"I signed at Sydney FC three years ago and we've won the premiers plate ever since then.
"We've lost both grand finals, so we really need to win this grand final. It's pretty much the same group who's been there for three years too."
